All six intel agencies were unanimous regarding Rob Porter testimony today.
Trump wont invoke the sanctions on Russia that a nearly unanimous house and senate voted to impose.
Trump still maintains there is no Russian interference into our election in 2016.
Truth told, the list of whys are too numerous to list. But one thing that jumps out at me is, when a Trump supporter want to list the wonderful things Trump has accomplished, I never hear them say Trump wants the truth about Russian interferrence in our election. I hear instead, " I got an extra $300.00 in my pay check as a result of Trump signing the Tax Bill." Sort of the way people who lived in John Gotti's neighborhood said wonderful things about him. He's a generous guy with all the money he stolled and killed for.
So Trump is generous with our tax money which he gives lavishly to himself and his rich friends and gives crumbs to us so we shouldn't care that he has sold out our country. Is your $300.00 worth that. What about your children.
 
Re: Why wont Trump direct Intelligence agencies to address 2018 election threat.

Because Putin doesn't want him too.
 
Re: Why wont Trump direct Intelligence agencies to address 2018 election threat.

Conclusion to the thread title question....?
 
Re: Why wont Trump direct Intelligence agencies to address 2018 election threat.

I'll take your $300 if you don't want the burden. No trouble at all.

Congress can enact their own sanctions.
Someone has to lead.

Congress did enact sanctions. quite recently in fact.

Trump has been shirking his duty to enforce said sanctions

Pls correct me if I am in error, with such a majority, they can pick, choose and list a Veto proof sanctions Act.

I'll gladly trade my $300.00 to keep Putin from living in the White House.
Shouldn't that be the same for anyone who professes a deep and abiding love for America and our constitutional rights, all of them?

and congress is shirking its duties in calling out the president for refusing to implement sanctions that were overwhelmingly approved by both houses of congress.
 
Re: Why wont Trump direct Intelligence agencies to address 2018 election threat.

Threat of what, more Russian Facebook and Twitter posts the masses are too stupid to ignore?

True, and they can act. Trump ain't doing nothing.

And on that we agree. Tell the truth, I think we must have agreed earlier. Thing is this Republican Congress is afraid to act. The sanction act passed, Trump delayed it time and again, then came out with a listing from Forbes.

Did you even hear a squeak of disgust from Ryan of McConnell? Sad state of affairs.
 
Re: Why wont Trump direct Intelligence agencies to address 2018 election threat.

The obvious answer is not hard to figure out: Trump knows that he was elected President with the help and assistance of Russia and that renders him illegitimate in the eyes of scores of millions of Americans and that is something totally and completely unacceptable for him to admit. In addition, there is some connection between him and Putin that causes Trump to refuse to place strong sanctions on Russia and refuse to confront the problem head on.

Sooner or later the key question must be thoroughly examined as to what are Trumps connection to Russia that have compelled him to take these stances and what has Russia promised him and what has he promised Russia.

We already have much damning information including the knowledge that
1 - it was Trump personally who invited Russia to get involved in the election to help him against Clinton and he promised them they would be rewarded.
2- Russia did interfere and was on Trump side and helped him win
3- Top Trump campaign people openly colluded with Russia agreeing to accept and welcoming illegal Russian help in the campaign and even openly speculated on how it could be best done to their greatest advantage.
4- Trump himself attempted to obstruct justice by firing Comey to thwart the investigation into his campaign activities with Russia.

We already know all these things and they are beyond dispute.


Several decades ago there was a right wing book called NONE DARE CALL IT TREASON. It seems a new version could be written today but from the other side of the aisle.

Cute cartoon. I like McConnell giving credit to "Vlad". An image of Vlad Tepes - the model for Dracula came to mind and then it occurred to me that Trump would make a very good Renfield to Vlad Tepes and serve him quite well with the promise of all the rats souls he could devour.

Were this the Emotional Appeals Court, you might have something there.

As our courts are based on law and production of evidence to prove guilt, youve got whats known as an empty hand.

The only thing you have in support of 1. Is Trump calling for the Russians to turn over emails, if they had them (which no doubt they did) from Hillary's shameless sham of a secured server. WE sure werent gonna get 'em from her, not after hitting the delete button 33 thousand times, not after being bleachbit cleaned, you know, like with a cloth and then taking a hammer to what was left...try to deny any of that. And as she was under FOIA law, state dept required policy and congressional subpoena to turn them over, WE had a right to them whoever happened to be in unlawful possession. Right?

I mean if intellectually honest, not just a partisan.

2. That may be proven to be true, though I have seen no sufficient evidence that they, the Russians, were anything but against Hillary. Who in their right mind wasn't ...and isn't still?

3. You cannot produce a single evidentiary item to even truly hint at that now. Without doubt baseless speculation and almost certainly fiction.

4. That would be a question that would go to the supreme court and Trump would be found to be within his constitutional prerogative to fire Comey for any reason he so desired, good or ill. James Comey himself tesitified to that fact under oath before congress.

Back to the drawing board.

How does it look on the banks of the Denial as you paddle up river?

1 - it was Trump personally who invited Russia to get involved in the election to help him against Clinton and he promised them they would be rewarded.


Hillary does NOT change the fact that Trump invited the Russians to help him in the campaign. He openly solicited illegal foreign assistance.

2- Russia did interfere and was on Trump side and helped him win.
Glad you agree.

3- Top Trump campaign people openly colluded with Russia agreeing to accept and welcoming illegal Russian help in the campaign and even openly speculated on how it could be best done to their greatest advantage.
The emails from Don Jr. prove this beyond any doubt and even conservative FOX commentators such as Charles Krauthammer called it collusion.

4- Trump himself attempted to obstruct justice by firing Comey to thwart the investigation into his campaign activities with Russia.
You cannot exercise a lawful power for corrupt intent as the former governor of Illinois now in prison can explain to you. And obstruction of justice is corrupt intent.

Congress makes laws the president signs them into law. It's the president that is holding up the sanctions.

What does that have to do with your $300?

BTW, I prefer cash.

Things like fiscal responsibility, the handling of secret documents, and character only matter to the right-wing when a democrat is in office.

The tax cut adding $1.5 trillion to the deficit so that daddy warbucks can stash more money offshore.

Making Flynn literally a foreign agent subject to blackmail National security advisor.

Granting Porter, who could not be granted security clearance access to top secret documents. Makes one wonder how many other white house staff are handling secret documents that shouldn't be.

Oh, and I almost forgot - in spite of all evidence to the contrary, along with your appointees all agreeing that Russia is a threat to free our free and fair election process denying any interference and refusing to enact the additional sanctions passed by congress.

But anyway... you know.... <sigh> Hillary's emails.
